What happens if this sits outside and gets wet a lot?

Not a good idea to put it outside in moist, damp or any kind of wet weather. It is made of plywood and carpet. It will stay wet, probably grow mold, smell and then fall apart. It is a great product when kept indoors. I have had it for almost 3 years, it gets a lot of use and is in perfect condition. Just keep it clean and dry, it will last for many years. Do not use it as an outdoor piece.

Well, the covering is a plush type carpet so I would say no. Unless you plan to re-cover it with a type of turf or rug type carpet, I would not expect it to do well outside

the only thing you would have to consider is when it gets really wet, it gets very soggy and expands and gets very soft

Sheds some of it, but definitely not waterproof. You will get wet sitting under it.

No I don't think so. It can get wet but don't believe the contents are protected.

it will keep dry if you are using it on a rainy day . it will not keep the water out if drop it into a puddle of water

You absolutely do not want to let it get wet. Once it fully dries out by evaporation (no heating) it will probably work.

Definitely not. It soaks so much water that it weighs about 5 pounds when wet. It will never dry if you leave it outside in the rain. It also traps everything in it, which is great inside but just as bad outside.

If you drop it in water, whatever's inside will probably get wet. But from my experience, it'll stand up to rain for a while, but don't expect to stand out in the rain for hours and hours.

The fabric on the seat will not allow for outdoor use. In addition, the metal may rust if it rains.

It'll do just fine agains a drizzle, a downpour may soak trhu. You definitely do not want to submerge it in water.

I think it would be best not to leave it outside. Rain and wind would probably damage it. It seems very delicate.

Water will kill it, it killed mine. Will work outside but bring it in during the rain.

We live in FL and get lots of rain. The box is in our back yard under a large palm tree and we have not had any water get into the box. As another person said make sure when you put it together all parts snap tightly in place. Hope this helps.

if the grass is very tall the car may be too light and get stuck. the water in the grass should not be a problem but a puddle might

Yes, you can sit under it in the rain and not get wet(unless the wind is blowing....lol)!

If one spills water upon the bench, it will NOT be absorbed into the wood. I would NOT leave it outside, or in the rain, maybe it could remain in a covered area. It is too nice a wood bench to leave outside, and I do not think it would age well. But for the price, it would be worth using outside, on an occasional basis. This is not as water resistant as a plastic bench. It is really kinda nice.

If it could be kept dry. I have one under a carport area where it cant get wet and have had no problems.
